Do not buy any Sonus Faber used


Sumiko just announced that
"IN ADDITION, SUMIKO WILL NOT SUPPLY PARTS AND/OR SERVICE FOR ANY SONUS FABER PRODUCT WITHOUT PROOF OF PURCHASE FROM A SUMIKO AUTHORIZED DEALER IN NORTH AMERICA ".

What a curious statement . Can you imagine Volkswagen refusing to provide parts for their own cars, no matter where they were bought? I do hope other distributors will follow. It would surely drive the prices down considerably on Audiogon for used gear.

Nonsense. I just bought some replacement drivers last week. No issues, no problems.

Did you try & make a purchase or did you just happen to read this today on their website?
Just checked their web site and did not see anything under their general home page tabs or under the Sonus Faber tabs.

Are you sure they aren't referring to warranty issues? That would make sense and be in line with everyone else. Surely they understand that some people sell their current speakers in order to buy new Sonus Fabers. I would want to hear it from them before I beleive it. Also the holding company that owns SF now owns Audio Research as well. Imagine telling Audio Reserach owners that they can't get parts for their components. A move like this would be marketing suicide.
